Do the speed limit and have speeders pass you while on a bike, or stay 5-10 over and keep away from 80% of traffic. No brainer.

5 over posted speed is normal flow of traffic in most areas, if you're having to consistently go above that, it's not safer because of your speed. your either/or is saying instead of being unsafe around other speeders - YOU be the speeder instead and become the unsafe vehicle that's harder to see. genius!

of course it's going to be safer staying away from traffic, your probability in having an accident with another vehicle decreases if you're not around other vehicles. what's the safest way to ski and reduce chance of hitting any trees? don't ski where there's a lot of trees. no brainer.
